The total Hindi collection of the movie has reached around 142 crores net and all versions around 146 crores in 3 days. Given the estimates hold, it will be the 4th biggest first three-day collection ever in Hindi after Jawan, Pathaan, and KGF: Chapter 2. ## The Hindi collection of the film today might match the opening day numbers but a lot depends on the size of the drop as some areas are below the opening day while in Gujarat, the collection has jumped from the opening day due to the New Year. The Southern markets continue to score a drop. ## The collection tomorrow is likely to be affected due to India's cricket World Cup semi-final match against New Zealand. If not for the match, the collection could have shown a similar hold due to Bhai Dhooj. It remains to see how much the match will make an impact as this is a big game so there is a possibility of the big drop. ## Stay tuned...
